SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP)

Tevin Baskin hit the go-ahead layup to cap a six-point spurt and
added a crucial block with 4 seconds left as Appalachian State held
Wofford scoreless for the final 6:57 to win 50-49 Tuesday
night.

The Mountaineers (5-8, 1-1 Southern Conference) led 36-27 early
in the second half, but Spencer Collins scored seven straight
points as part of an 8-0 Terriers run.

Wofford (6-9, 0-2) used another 8-0 burst to lead 47-40, and
Collins, who led the Terriers with 13 points, hit a jumper with
6:57 left to make it 49-44. Those were Wofford's final points, with
the Terriers missing 10 shots, including Justin Gordon's layup
attempt blocked by Baskin.

Tab Hamilton started the Appalachian State comeback with a
jumper with 5 minutes remaining, followed by Mike Neal's layup with
4:18 left and Baskin's layup with 2:32 to go.
